A New Beginning

Chapter One

A Chance

Kim POV

I awoke surrounded by fire. Duncan was laying a few feet away on the basalt. We were lucky we hadn't landed in the lava, because if we had, it would have been the end of us.

I stood and brushed myself off and took in my surroundings. There was a giant basalt hill that we were on and it was covered in lava, fire, and spaceship parts.

My memory was hazy, I only got flashes. A giant purple ball talking to me, Duncan using his portal gun to tear me away from mother. Mother. She wasn't my mother, she was evil. She wasn't even a she, it was a node, that I had fallen in, and gotten all Fluxy. I am Free.

I heard a rustling from a few feet away and rush to Duncans side. He looks up at me and says "You know, the guy is supposed to rescue the girl, see if she's all right."

I furrow my brow, how on earth is that what he's thinking of right now, that's the last thing on my mind! But before I could get a response out, he kisses me. Not a passionate kiss, but a soft, small, gentle kiss. It only lasts a few seconds and when we break apart I want more. I can tell from the look in his eyes he does too, but not now.

"I feel the same way. Always have... Jerk" I wink at him and get up, helping him up after me.

"So where are we?" He asks.

"You're supposed to be the teacher, I know less than you." I retort.

I hear him chuckle as he opens a chest behind me, "Hey Kim! There's a whole lot of gear in here! All sorts of things! We're set for life, well, maybe not life, but... you know."

I come up next to him and look in the chest, it's full of everything you could every want. From food to weird sciency Duncany things. I smile.

"Duncan, we could have a fresh start here. No more wars. No more feuds. Nothing to remind us of our previous life. Just- just a clean slate." I breathe.

He exhales loudly "Clean slate" he whispers. "Well" He turns to face me " except for this." he says, pointing to my flux-endused hands and arms. I chuckle.

"Yea, except for that. But Moth- I mean, the Node is gone. Sh- IT, can't speak to me anymore." I say.

He wraps his arms around me in a quick embrace, then quickly lets go and frantically searches through the chest.

He emerges with his arms behind his back. He goes down on one knee while bringing out a cherry-filled doughnut. "Kim Richards, would you be willing to start over with me? Have a clean slate?" His face changes from goofy to serious "And spend it with me, forever?"

I go deep red. Duncan Jones just proposed to me. Oh god, I'm not ready for this. But what if I am? I don't know what to do, so I grab the cherry doughnut and take a bite. "I'm not saying yes to marriage, just yet anyway, but everything else, yes."

He smiles and stands up, his hands finding their way to my hips as he does so. His face is inches from mine, centimeters, even. "That's all I need." Then we kiss.. for a very, long, time.

I watch those two lovebirds. Them Kissing, him practically proposing, all that lovey dovey shit. Ugh, it makes me sick.

I hear a rustle behind me. "Are they ready yet Jarvis?" I asked. "The prototypes?"

"Y35 53R, JU5T F1N3, 53R."

"Good, because I'm coming for her." I whisper into her mind, 'I'm back daughter, and you won't ever leave me again, or I'll make you regret it, I swear.'

I smile as I see the look of despair cross over her face, quickly hidden as to not bother her scientist in a shining lab coat of his dream, a start-over. Well I have the power to do that, she'll just have to cooperate.

I hear Mothers voice again, and I'm scared. Should I tell him? I don't want to lie, but, I also don't want to rob him of his happy ending. Maybe I imagined it, maybe I just need to calm down. I'll wait, it was probably just my imagination.
